If they do call anyone up from Grand Rapids, it will be Nosek, Bertuzzi, or Lorito. Frk and Callahan would have to clear waivers as the Wings would want those two in GR for the Griffins playoff run. Bertuzzi has already had a look in Detroit earlier this season. Lorito has not had a chance yet and the Wings had to battle several other NHL teams just to sign him this season, so I would think this would be a good time to see what he can do in the NHL. Nosek would also be a possibility as the Wings would have to decide what to do with him for next season. Good on PK and leads Griffins on PP points and above average on faceoffs. Skating is much improved from last season.
I would like to see Callahan get a chance in Detroit, but I do not think that the Wings will give him that opportunity (at least not this season). Frk is pretty much a PP specialist just like Pulkkinen was. He scores goals in GR (scored one tonight) but he can not skate and takes too many silly penalties (took one again tonight).
Pretty sure Martin Frk and Mitch Callahan can come up, and be on the roster for 9 games and under 30 games before having to hit waivers. Besides, Martin Frk has cleared waivers once this season already.
Tomas Nosek likely is on the opening day roster next season. He got called up this year, last year of not needing waivers, and looked good last year in the NHL. He's a guy that should replace Drew Miller.
Matt Lorito doesn't seem like a long-term thing to Detroit to me. I mean, he didn't get called up last year by Jersey despite playing really well, and just kind of seems like another AHL vet to me. Kinda seems like a Andy Miele.. Grand Rapids is a powerhouse team. They've been stacked since the Calder championship. Top tier AHL veterans, legit AHL coaches (Blashill/Nelson), and serious specs coming in and out, earning time.
Pretty sure their Youtube channel has the most followers, twitter has the most followers, etc for the AHL. Sellout every game, yeah? Like a poor-man's AHL London Knights.
What is your thing/interest in Martin Frk any way?
